    Right, thought I'd try something. If you're enjoying Jim, or even if you're not, but you reckon someone you know might, why not tell 'em about it? Give 'em a little nudge in this direction. Know any closeted alcoholics with rage issues, a strong disdain for institutions, and an appreciation...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 11 Old friends

    Jim awoke at dusk. For a few moments he simply lay there staring up at the canvas roof of his little tent. The fabric stirred gently in the evening breeze, the muted sounds of the camp filtering through from outside. His back hurt. His knees hurt. His neck hurt. Something near his shoulder hurt...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 10 Fucking Bogins

    Jim was running bravely. Or, to put it another way, he was bringing up the rear because everyone else was younger than him. His lungs burned. His legs felt heavy. Every breath scraped at his chest. The tunnel seemed endless. A narrow stone throat stretching forever into darkness. The pounding...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 9 The Tunnel

    Jim sat in the back of the wagon as it rumbled steadily toward the Umber lands. His head swayed gently with the rhythm of the wheels. The canvas above creaked occasionally whenever a gust of mountain wind caught it. The road had long since ceased being a road and had instead become a vague...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 8 Ooh that’s a good whiskey

    Jim stepped into the armoury and immediately felt slightly better. There was something reassuring about a room full of weapons. The familiar smell of steel, oil, and old leather hung in the air. The chamber was enormous. Rack after rack stretched away beneath lantern light. Swords. Axes...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 7 Demons asshole

    Jim sat in one of the briefing room chairs while the rest of the team settled around the large stone table. The heavy wooden chairs scraped softly against the floor as people found their places. The room itself was surprisingly plain for a place where important people made important decisions...

    Yeah, that's the bit that gives me a little hope. Even if EA sits on the name, I'd happily take a proper spiritual successor made by people who understand what made Mass Effect special. Exodus, for example—I'm really looking forward to that, and The Expanse: Osiris Reborn looks promising too.

    Yeah, I played it exactly the same way I always do—chose Synthesis. The hangover's still in full swing, but here's the next bit.

    Yo, there'll be a gap in uploads. I've just heard there won't be another Mass Effect, and due to this personally devastating news, I'll be replaying the entire trilogy while drinking. Once I've taken Earth back and recovered emotionally, I'll post the next chapter.

    Threadmarks: Chapter 6 Unwanted complications

    Jim awoke five minutes before his alarm went off. He didn't move. Didn't think much either. Over the years he'd learned something important about mornings. Thinking was dangerous. Too many thoughts led to too many reasons to stay in bed. His back hurt. His knees hurt. His shoulder was still...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 5 You can crap in a sock

    Jim was about halfway through the ever-growing list of things that wanted to eat them in the Umber lands when he noticed the big shirtless mountain of a man standing near the back of the group. The bloke had a slight smirk on his face. Not mocking exactly. But close enough. The sort of...
